Oops, I Slept With Your Boyfriend

Last post we were discussing why not to compare yourself to the other person. If you need any more help in that department, I invite you to read this execrable piece of dryer lint entitled “Oops, I Slept with Your Boyfriend” by Charlie Nox on HuffPo.

Nox is a “boutique sex and dating coach.” Interesting job title choice. Boutique? Go all the way, Charlie, on the douchey over sell. Why not “bespoke sex”? — I think that sounds classier. Artisan, free-range, pastured sex with dovetailed joints. All you peasants who only do Costco sex, you generic, big-box store sorts of daters — you’re Doing It All Wrong. Trade up. Go boutique, you losers.

Because a woman who writes a very public article that she’ll sleep with just about anyone, including her friend’s boyfriends, is exactly the sort of exclusive service provider you want.

Oh, why do I give these people attention? I don’t know. Because they’re freaks. Because a look inside this woman’s head tells you exactly what sort of pathetic attention monger (mongrel) you’re dealing with. To wit:

The few times I’ve found myself the mistress, we have had deep, real, meaningful conversations about their relationships and their commitments, their heart and their body. I encourage them to honor their commitments if that feels good to them. And sometimes it does. And sometimes it doesn’t.

You see, it’s all very complicated. It’s “raw.” Morality shouldn’t be so black and white. It’s fuzzy, (like dryer lint). Maybe she’ll feel like sleeping with your boyfriend, maybe she won’t. But she’s not ruling it out. It’s really up to your boyfriend. She’s not “policing anyone’s morals.”

Relationships are complicated; and emotions and promises and sex and bodies are complicated. I don’t think it’s possible to make absolute rules. I know that in the messy, real, rawness of life, what sounds clear in theory gets muddled in practice.

God, don’t you want dating advice from a muddled person? But it’s a boutique kind of muddled. Act now. Show her a picture of your partner. Maybe you and Charlie can have something messy and real.

But only if that feels good to you.

Wait…what? She coaches people on how to sleep around? People need help with that? And she makes money this way? I need to re-think my career choice because I’m clearly working too hard.

I have a feeling she printed up some free business cards and that’s how she’s “official” at this “job.”. Probably calls herself the “CEO” of her own company on those business cards, too.

She is not “policing anyone’s morals” – including her own. Must be so nice to live in her head with all the confetti and balloons and glitter. Life is such a party when one doesn’t have to worry about those bothersome morals.

oh gawd… dating advice from a sociopath. I couldn’t even finish her suppurating diatribe.

“My lovers have been in complicated relationships that are basically over but they can’t break up, and they are exhausted and need the kind of nurturing that you can only get when you are getting ridden hard and kissed passionately.”

“But for me, there are times — few and far between — where my body (not my libido, but my body wisdom… my gut) says that this connection is right and good and sacred. And when that happens, I pursue it. I pursue it with clarity, consciousness, and purpose. I never excuse what happened, or apologize for it either.”

It was like driving down the free-way… you see the flashing lights and hear the sirens and then the mangled wreck and you just can-not look away— at first, but its simply too gruesome to stay there; what a pathetic, very, very sad creature.

Can you just see her at 85 hitting on other women’s men? riding them fast and hard.

I found the post (by googling the quote) and she said that she took the gluten free pancakes and had breakfast with her boyfriend and then had another threesome that very same night after she confessed to her BF that she had a crush on a friend of his and he was into giving her everything she wanted.

I guess it was “field work?”

I was likewise completely appalled by her column. There are so many dreadful points in it, though i will just share the 2 that I found most despicable:

1. She says, “the few times I’ve found myself the mistress… I encourage [my cheating lovers] to honor their commitments if that feels good to them. And sometimes it does. And sometimes it doesn’t.”

Um, hello, isn’t this why humans have brains? So that we can rise above our baser impulses, consider others’ feelings, and do the right thing? If we all just go around doing what “feels good” all the time, we devolve into a grownup version of Lord of the Flies or something even worse.

And also, is this how the author handles moral questions in general? Would she say, “I encourage my lovers to commit murder if that feels good to them. And sometimes it does. And sometimes it doesn’t.” Because thats what cheating is, a moral issue. Clearly, this woman is the very definition of a hypocrite — someone who only follows her own “rules” when it’s convenient.

2. The author states, “there are a whole set of promises and agreements between me and my friends… about caring for each other, [etc]… If I thought my friend would be upset, I suspect I wouldn’t [fuck her boyfriend].”

Hmm, ok, so the promises and agreements between her and her friends matter (somewhat), but the legal, social, spiritual, emotional, and financial promises/agreements of marriage don’t? Also, who doesn’t get upset when their friend screws their boyfriend? That seems like a no-brainer.

And finally, she’ll think twice about having sex with her friend’s boyfriend, but no problem if it’s someone else’s boyfriend…? So obviously she knows she’s doing something hurtful and wrong, or she wouldn’t spare her friends, yet she’s perfectly ok with hurting and wronging another human being? I guess that as long as she’s not close enough to have to see the damage, she’s ok with it. Reminds me of the social experiment where people were asked to push a button, which they were told would send an almost fatal electrical shock to someone in the next room. People were ok with destroying another person, as long as they didn’t have to witness the pain and devastation they caused. Obviously, this woman is despicably selfish, cowardly, and downright evil. Amazing how some people have no shame.

that’s the part that stuck out to me too Sunshine. She wouldn’t want to upset her friends, likely because she doesn’t want to loose them, but could care less about someone she doesn’t know. That’s not ethics, that is selfish.

So Charlie Nox says:

“But for me, there are times — few and far between — where my body (not my libido, but my body wisdom… my gut) says that this connection is right and good and sacred. And when that happens, I pursue it. I pursue it with clarity, consciousness, and purpose. I never excuse what happened, or apologize for it either.”

To me this is just another way of paraphrasing Dr George Simon’s catchfrase:
“It’s not that I don’t see, I just don’t agree.”

Well, then why does she bother explaning her inner workings to the public in colums at all?

Well, I must be one extremely boring person. It seems that cheating is not only, for some people, a not so terrible thing.

It rocks. It’s to be admired. Let’s make a funky little industry out of it. I’m so cute, and clever, and fuck my clients. Or cheat with one of them , and cheat on the other, if I read it right. And it’s all so cool, and I’m so clever, I’m going to write on HuffPo about it………………………Unf#&*inf believable!!

And the most pathetic part of it, she’s having success. Are there really that many dumbass’s out there, that they pay money for airhead, bimbo, cheating advice? seriously?

Um, didn’t we try this before, a few decades ago?

It was called “Free Love” and everyone was doing it. And bragging about it. And then we all realized it doesn’t work. Oops, I slept with your boyfriend became “oops, I got herpes” and “oops, I lost all my friends cause it actually did hurt their feelings when I slept with their husbands” and “oops, I don’t like it when my friend sleeps with *my* husband, cause it’s actually kindof painful”….and many, many other “oopses”.

This is not new. It’s old. Really old.

Her column smacks of “Look! I’m easy! I’ll sleep with anyone!” I’m sure her phone will be ringing off the hook with guys who want a guaranteed lay tonight, without having to work for it, or *pay* for it (much better than a hooker, right?). Hey guys (and girls), she’s free. But nothing says *ick* more than “wow, everyone on the block has slept with her….and now I have, too, within one day of knowing her”. Ick. Moving on.

You know, I do wonder that if non-monogamous relationships were so much better, then why haven’t they become the primary structure today? People whine about how monogamy is unnatural, that we were programmed to want several partners, yet we still stick with that darn, old-fashioned monogamy concept. I wonder why… maybe because it actually works better? Is less confusing? Is actually more appealing to people even if they don’t want to admit it? Why do we bother with the monogamous relationship when we want to cheat? Why don’t more people stay single and do whatever they want with whomever they want? For some reason, we keep entering into what are supposed to be exclusive relationships, but yet, people rail against them, cheat, say monogamy is unnatural, etc.

I guess it’s all about cake eating and narcissism. Otherwise, I don’t get it, not in this day and age.

I agree. I always hate the argument that monogamy is unnatural.

It’s part of human nature to want a faithful partner and to get mad if someone cheats on us.

It’s part of human nature to have brains and the ability to control our behavior to get what we want.

It’s part of human nature to feel empathy for other people and not want to hurt the ones we love.

Most gag worthy to me: “The few times I’ve found myself with a man who has a girlfriend, it has felt like an exception, a special moment outside normal rules.” and “But for me, there are times — few and far between — where my body (not my libido, but my body wisdom… my gut) says that this connection is right and good and sacred.”

Her entire article boils down to just another long winded excuse for breaking the social contract without feeling guilty about it. Gotta hand it to her for making up a word for it, “body wisdom”. Seriously? That’s what most of us call “pants feelings” or lust but hey maybe if you make it sound Buddhist you can pretend it’s something spiritual.

Seriously? A dating coach? How does that stack up next to a track coach or a football coach? How long are “practices?” Is there homework? Does she provide tutors if you’re slow to catch on?

The fact that this woman is a “dating coach” made me think about my ex, who for quite some time was on a local radio station show as a “relationship expert.” He was giving advice on dating, being a single parent, financial issues in relationships, communication skills and relating to women. I’ve written more than enough about my ex, can you imagine anyone LESS qualified for the position?

“….we have had deep, real, meaningful conversations about their relationships and their commitments,…..” um, no you don’t. Trust me, you are not getting the full version of the truth. My future ex told his OW that he was in fact working on getting divorced, that we’d been broken for a long time and that it was just a slow process because we had a kid. The truth is that the future ex never once said he was unhappy, but instead always accused me of being unhappy, dropped this bombshell of not wanting to be married anymore (at that moment in time, together for 22 years, married for 11), then instead of being a man and ending the marriage, he has the affair that lasts 9 months – all the whole time he KNEW i suspected because i’d call him out on it, he watched me falling appart, trying to hold the marriage together, could see what he was doing was killing me, never stopped what he was doing, lied to me every single day, had chance after chance to do the right thing but instead strung me along and sucked the life out of me.

This woman is so brilliant, she’s discovered the art of bottom-feeding.

She’s used to rejection, so she’s embraced it. She hooks up with men and women who don’t actually care about her, then proclaims herself an expert. The thing is, getting sex is easy, particularly if you skip the vetting process. Poaching partners is soooooo easy, even she can do it.

Because for every twat troll like her, there are countless cheaters eager and willing to hook up with any of them. They’re all the same, just bits and pieces in a busy life.

True love? Meaningful relationships with people who actually have souls? Not so much. That’s a very lonely existence.

Now we know. They are everywhere. I want nothing to do with these sickos. Let them have each other.

It has nothing to do with someone’s sex life, if both are single and willing. But once your talking about cheating,the sex is the least of it. Once the smoke clears, a cheater has just shit on their spouse and kids (if applicable). What kind of person does that?
And the AP, if they too have knowledge of the family, also has just the same.

I’m all for individuality and agency, but these concepts are meaningless without honor, commitment, integrity, loyalty, and honesty. So, too me, I think there is nothing really to say to a cheater unless they are truly contrite and remorseful. Otherwise, it’s just a waste of time.
